Leland Township unanimously approved a public recreation ordinance to establish rules and regulations for the use and maintenance of township parks, beaches, and road-end docks at its regular meeting on Jan. 13. The rules and regulations will go into effect Feb. 22.
Between the fall of 2022 and April 2024, Clint Mitchell, Leland Township Supervisor, said drafts of the ordinance were reviewed by the township’s parks and recreation committee, zoning administrator, county sheriff, township attorney, board members and interested community members, without any objections and with several added changes made along the way. The final draft was completed in April 2024.
With the adoption of the updated public recreation ordinance, the township’s former park regulation ordinance from 1989, which highlighted rules for parks, beaches, boat launching ramps, and places of recreation, was repealed.
